Depends on the image names. Something like:

ImageSource("pic%05d.png")

will open a series of sequentially numbered images that start with "pic" and end with a 5 digit number (with preceding zeros), like "pic00000.png", "pic00001.png"...

You can use QTGMC() but your images may have screwed up chroma from when you saved as images.

Upscale as you would any video.

ah many thanks

The image sequence names don't have to have 5 digits or leading zeors. And the images don't have to start at zero, they can start at 1 or any other number. See the ImageSource docs for details.

ImageSource("pic%05d.png")

will open a series of sequentially numbered images that start with "pic" and end with a 5 digit number (with preceding zeros), like "pic00000.png", "pic00001.png"...

After 20 other threads on imagesequence this post got me on the right track. Though this method does seem to require the first image to start with 0, otherwise it fails. And yes I read the imagesource docs but couldn't get other methods to work. So I ended up duplicating the first frame, renaming it 000000.png, then used the trim function to remove it for the encode. This is for an image sequence with 6 digits. Without the "end" it'll only load 1000 images by default. Hope this helps someone in the future.

LoadPlugin("H:\VideoStuff\VirtualDub\plugins\ImageSequence.dll")
ImageSource("I:\upscale\hibrawzoom%06d.png", end = 093412)
AssumeFPS(24000, 1001)
lanczos4resize(1920, 1080)
__film = last
__t0 = __film.trim(1, 93412)
__t0

This should have worked without creating a frame 0:

ImageSource("I:\upscale\hibrawzoom%06d.png", start=1, end=93412)
AssumeFPS(24000, 1001)
lanczos4resize(1920, 1080)

If the "start=1" doesn't work for some reason (note, I've used start=n many times and never had any problems) use your frame 0 and:

ImageSource("I:\upscale\hibrawzoom%06d.png", end = 093412)
AssumeFPS(24000, 1001)
lanczos4resize(1920, 1080)
Trim(1,0) # start with frame 1 (ie discard frame 0), keep all frames until the end of the video
